[2] In 1994, an attempt was made to relocate the original quarry where the species and others had been found, using ground-penetrating radar to image bones still buried in the ground. The attempt failed because the fossilized mudstone bones were the same density as the surrounding rock, making it impossible to differentiate between the two.
No bones of the limbs or other parts beyond the skulls and teeth have been attributed to Dinopithecus, so it is impossible to know its mode of locomotion for certain. However, as a papionin of very large size, it most probably spent a significant amount of time on the ground and moved quadrupedally.
This version is often said to have a gaping mouth on its abdomen, [2] with its feet turned backwards. Creatures with such feet, which confuse those trying to track it, are found in folklore around the world. [1] In the latter half of the 20th century, some cryptozoologists speculated that the mapinguari might be an unknown primate, akin to ...
Size comparison with life restoration. Animantarx is universally thought of as a nodosaurid ankylosaur, although its precise relationships within that family are uncertain. . The most recent cladistic analysis of ankylosaur phylogeny does not include Animantarx, although the authors recognize the genus as Nodosauridae incertae sedis because of its rounded supraorbital protrusions and a ...

Swimming. The entire Turritopsis genus is a very small group of Hydrozoa creatures with the Crimson Jellyfish being on the slightly larger side of the genus. The Crimson Jellyfish ranges in size from just 3 to 7mm depending on what stage of its life cycle the creature is currently in. Being roughly the size of a pinky nail, the creature is like many other jellyfish being very simple with few ...
Size comparison between a person and Inostrancevia (reconstructed with long lips and some hair). Earlier gorgonopsids in the Middle Permian were quite small, with skull lengths of 10–15 cm (4–6 in), [1] whereas some later genera attained massive, bear-like sizes with the largest being Inostrancevia up to 3.5 m (11 ft) in length and 300 kg (660 lb) in body mass.
